Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout Release Day Launch + GIVEAWAY

Hello readers! I have a very special post for you guys today! The release day launch for one of the most anticipated books of the year. The thrilling conclusion to the Lux series by one of my all time favorite authors, Jennifer L. Armentrout. As any of my regular readers will tell you, I am a HUGE JLA fan, she is a member of what I call my "holy trinity" here on the blog. She is an incredible inspiration to me. I am honored to be included in this release day launch. Without farther adieu, here's the release day launch for Opposition!

We are ridiculously excited to bring you the Release Day Launch for Jennifer L. Armentrout's OPPOSITION! OPPOSITION is a young adult Paranormal Romance being published by Entangled Teen and the fifth book in her LUX Series!

About OPPOSITION:
Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.
She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all.
Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal.
They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind.
War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing.

Okay, now that you've seen the cover AND read that synopsis, how about an excerpt supplied specifically for the release day!? WOOHOO! Here you go:

EXCERPT:Katy

I still
stared at Daemon, completely aware that everyone else except him was watching
me. Closely. But why wouldn’t he look at me? A razor-sharp panic clawed at my
insides. No. Thiscouldn’t be
happening. No way.My body was moving before I even knew what
I was doing.

From
the corner of my eye, I saw Dee shake her head and one of the Luxen males step
forward, but I was propelled by an inherent need to prove that my worst fears
were not coming true.

After
all, he’d healed me, but then I thought of what Dee had said, of how Dee had
behaved with me. What if Daemon was like her? Turned into something so foreign
and cold? He would’ve healed me just to make sure he was okay.

I still
didn’t stop. Please, I thought over and over again. Please. Please. Please. On
shaky legs, I crossed the long room, and even thoughDaemon hadn’t seemed to even acknowledge
my existence, I walked right up to him, my hands trembling as I placed them on
his chest.

“Daemon?” I whispered,
voice thick.

His
head whipped around, and he was suddenly staring down at me. Our gazes collided
once more, and for a second I saw something so raw, so painful in those
beautiful eyes. And then his large hands wrapped around my upper arms. The
contact seared through the shirt I wore, branding my skin, and I thought—I
expected—that he would pull me against him, that he would embrace me, and even
though nothing would be all right, it would be better.

Daemon’s
hands spasmed around my arms, and I sucked in an unsteady breath.

His
eyes flashed an intense green as he physically lifted me away from him, setting
me back down a good foot back.

I
stared at him, something deep in my chest cracking. “Daemon?”

He said
nothing as he let go, one finger at a time, it seemed, and his hands slid off
my arms. He stepped back, returning his attention to the man behind the desk.

“So . .
. awkward,” murmured the redhead, smirking.

I was
rooted to the spot in which I stood, the sting of rejection burning through my
skin, shredding my insides like I was nothing more than papier-mâché.

“I
think someone was expecting more of a reunion,” the Luxen male behind the desk
said, his voice ringing with amusement. “What do you think, Daemon?”

One
shoulder rose in a negligent shrug. “I don’t think anything.”

My
mouth opened, but there were no words. His voice, his tone, wasn’t like his
sister’s, but like it had been when we first met. He used to speak to me with
barely leashed annoyance, where a thin veil of tolerance dripped from every
word.The rift in my
chest deepened. For the
hundredth time since the Luxen arrived, SergeantDasher’s warning came back to me. What side would Daemon and his
family stand on? A shudder worked its way down my spine. I wrapped my arms
around myself, unable to truly process what had just happened.

“And
you?” the man asked. When no one answered, he tried again. “Katy?”

I was
forced to look at him, and I wanted to shrink back from his stare. “What?” I
was beyond caring that my voice broke on that one word.

The man
smiled as he walked around the desk. My gaze flickered over to Daemon as he
shifted, drawing the attention of the beautiful redhead. “Were you expecting a
more personal greeting?” he asked. “Perhaps something more intimate?”

I had
no idea how to answer. I felt like I’d fallen into the rabbit hole, and
warnings were firing off left and right. Something primal inside me recognized
that I was surrounded by predators.

I
put Lux on hold a few months ago to read Jenn's Covenant series and began an amazing journey with JLA. I am currently making my way through Lux to be prepared for this exciting release day launch! This new book, and the entire Lux
series, comes HIGHLY recommended and is just one of many, many testaments I have
found to the amazing uniqueness of Jennifer L. Armentrout. Okay, I ranted.
Here’s JLA’s bio!

her time reading, working out, watching really bad zombie movies,
pretending to write, and hanging out with her husband and her Jack
